1 Peter 4
1 Since Christ suffered physically, you must prepare yourselves with the same attitude he had—for those who suffer physically have turned away from sin.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, tondũ Kristũ nĩanyariirirwo mwĩrĩ-inĩ-rĩ, o na inyuĩ kĩĩhotorei mũrĩ na meciiria o ta macio aarĩ namo, tondũ mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩkĩtie kũnyariirwo mwĩrĩ nĩatiganĩte na mehia.
2 You will not live the rest of your lives following human desires, but doing what God wants.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, mũtũũrĩre wake ũrĩa ũtigarĩte wa gũtũũra gũkũ thĩ ndarĩtũũraga nĩguo ahingagie merirĩria mooru ma mwĩrĩ, no arĩtũũraga nĩguo ekage ũrĩa Ngai endaga.
3 In the past you've spent enough time following the ways of the world: immorality, sexual indulgence, drunken orgies, partying, binge drinking, and revolting idol-worship.
Tondũ nĩmũtũũrĩte ihinda rĩa kũigana mũgĩkaga maũndũ marĩa andũ arĩa matetĩkĩtie Ngai mendaga gwĩka, namo nĩ ta mĩtũũrĩre ya ũũra-thoni, na merirĩria mooru ma mwĩrĩ, na ũrĩĩu, na gũthiiaga maruga-inĩ ma waganu, o na ciathĩ-inĩ cia kũnyua njoohi, o na mũhooere ũrĩ thaahu wa kũhooya mĩhianano.
4 People think it's strange that you don't join them anymore in this wild and excessive lifestyle, so they curse at you. But they will have to explain what they've done to the one who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Nao andũ acio nĩmagegaga mona atĩ mũtiranyiitanĩra nao hĩndĩ ĩrĩa marakĩrĩrĩria ũmaramari-inĩ ũcio wao, nao magakĩmũcambagia.
5 That's why the good news was shared with those who've already died—
Nao no nginya makaaheana ũhoro wa maũndũ mao kũrĩ ũrĩa wĩhaarĩirie gũtuĩra ciira arĩa marĩ muoyo na arĩa makuĩte.
6 so that although they were rightly judged as far as being sinful human beings is concerned, they could live in the spirit as far as God is concerned.
Nĩgũkorwo gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩtũmi kĩrĩa gĩatũmire Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ũhunjĩrio o na andũ arĩa makuĩte, nĩgeetha ha ũhoro wa mwĩrĩ magaatuĩrwo ciira o ta ũrĩa andũ arĩa angĩ magaatuĩrwo, no ha ũhoro wa roho matũũre muoyo o ta ũrĩa Ngai atũũraga.
7 Everything is coming to an end! So think clearly and stay alert when you pray.
Ithirĩro rĩa maũndũ mothe nĩrĩkuhĩrĩirie. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ikaragai mũrĩ na ũũgĩ wa ngoro, na mũikarage mũterigĩtwo nĩguo mũhotage kũhooya.
8 Most of all, you should love one another very deeply, for love covers many of the wrong things people do.
Ningĩ gũkĩra maũndũ mothe, ikaragai mwendaine mũno mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, tondũ wendani nĩũhumbagĩra mehia maingĩ.
9 Show hospitality to each another, and don't complain.
Ningĩ mũtuganage mũtekũnuguna.
10 Whatever gift you've been given, share it with others among you, as people who wisely demonstrate God's grace in all its different forms.
O mũndũ nĩ ahũthĩre kĩheo o gĩothe kĩrĩa amũkĩrĩte nĩguo atungatagĩre andũ arĩa angĩ, arĩ ta mũramati mwĩhokeku wa wega wa Ngai wa mĩthemba mĩingĩ.
11 Anyone who speaks should do so as though God is speaking through them. Anyone who wants to help others should do so through the strength that God gives, so that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. May glory and power be his forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Mũndũ o wothe angĩkorwo akĩaria-rĩ, nĩarie taarĩ mũndũ ũkũheana ciugo cia Ngai. Nake mũndũ o wothe angĩkorwo agĩtungata-rĩ, nĩatungate na hinya ũrĩa ũheanagwo nĩ Ngai, nĩgeetha Ngai agoocagwo maũndũ-inĩ mothe thĩinĩ wa Jesũ Kristũ. Nake nĩwe ũgũtũũra arĩ na riiri na hinya nginya tene na tene. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 My friends, don't be alarmed at the “ordeals of fire” you're having, as if these were unexpected.
Arata akwa nyenda mũno, mũtikagegio nĩ magerio marĩa mũranyariirwo namo, taarĩ ũndũ mũgeni ũrekĩka thĩinĩ wanyu.
13 Be happy to the extent that you share in Christ's suffering, because when he appears in his glory, you will be incredibly happy!
No kenagai nĩgũkorwo nĩ mũgwatanĩire thĩinĩ wa kũnyariirĩka gwa Kristũ, nĩgeetha mũkaiyũrĩrĩrwo nĩ gĩkeno hĩndĩ ĩrĩa riiri wake ũkaaguũranĩrio.
14 If you are cursed in Christ's name, you're blessed, for God's glorious spirit rests on you.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ mũngĩrumwo nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Kristũ, nĩ ũndũ Roho ũrĩa ũrĩ na riiri, o we Roho wa Ngai, arĩ igũrũ rĩanyu.
15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer, or a thief, or a criminal, or as a gossip—
Mũndũ wanyu ndakananyariirwo ta mũũragani, kana mũici, kana mũgeri ngero ĩngĩ o yothe, o na kana ta mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtoonyagĩrĩria maũndũ-inĩ ma andũ angĩ.
16 but if it's as a Christian, then you don't need to be ashamed. Instead praise God that you're called by that name!
No rĩrĩ, mũndũ angĩnyariirwo tondũ wa gũtuĩka Mũkristiano-rĩ, ndakanaconoke, no nĩagooce Ngai tondũ nĩaheetwo rĩĩtwa rĩu.
17 For the time of judgment has come—and it begins with the house of God. If it begins with us, what will be the end of those who reject God's good news?
Nĩgũkorwo ihinda nĩ ikinyu ciira wambĩrĩrie gũtuĩrwo andũ a nyũmba ya Ngai; na angĩkorwo ũkwambĩrĩria na ithuĩ-rĩ, gũgaagĩtuĩka atĩa harĩ arĩa mataathĩkagĩra Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Ngai?
18 “If it's hard for those who live right to be saved, what will happen to sinners, those who oppose God?”
Na rĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩ ũndũ ũrĩ hinya mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu kũhonoka-rĩ, naguo ũhoro wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũtetĩkĩtie Ngai na ũrĩa mwĩhia ũgaakĩhaana atĩa?”
19 So then those who suffer according to the will of God, the trustworthy Creator, should make sure they are doing good.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, andũ arĩa manyariirĩkaga kũringana na ũrĩa Ngai endete, nĩmaheane mĩoyo yao kũrĩ Mũũmbi wao ũrĩa wa kwĩhokeka, na mathiĩ na mbere gwĩkaga maũndũ mega.
